Filter by:This study aimed to determine the effects of neuromobilization techniques and conservative rehabilitation therapy on pain, grip strength, and functional status in patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE). A total of 40 patients (26 females and 14 males; age: 42.80 ± 8.91 years) with a history of LE participated in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the neuromobilization group and the control group. The neuromobilization group completed a 6-week conservative rehabilitation and radial nerve mobilization program, whereas the control group received conservative rehabilitation therapy only. Both groups underwent a 7-day weekly conservative home rehabilitation program. Pain severity, grip strength, pinch strength, joint mobility, and upper extremity functional level were assessed before treatment, at the third week, after treatment, and at the sixth week after treatment.
Grip strength can be decreased in lateral epicondylitis. Pinch strength is also affected in people suffering from lateral epicondylitis. In this study, participants will be evaluated using a hydraulic dynamometer, a pinch meter and we will evaluate pain, disability and quality of life.
Investigate the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of intradermal NSAIDs and lidocaine (delivered through mesotherapy) for the treatment of LE comparing it with empty intradermal injections.
This study aims to compare arthroscopic resection (surgical intervention) versus infiltration of cytokine rich serum (CRS) (proteins derived from the patient's own blood) for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE).
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT) treatment and Deep Friction Massage (DFM) treatment on pain, functionality, grip strength (GS), edema, range of motion (ROM) of the elbow and quality of life in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE). 36 individuals diagnosed with CLE will be randomly divided into two equal groups. rESWT treatment will be applied to Group 1 and DFM treatment to Group 2. Visual analogue scale will be used to assess pain severity, functionality with Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation Turkish version (PRTEE-T), GS with digital dynamometer, ROM of the elbow joint with goniometer, edema with environmental measurement, and quality of life with Short Form 36 (SF-36).
This is a retrospective study evaluating the safety and performance of the MINITAC Suture anchors for extremities repair. Data will be used to support Notified Body (BSI) requirements for extremities repair indications.
We aimed to investigate the effect of scapular exercises on pain and functioning in patients with lateral epicondylitis to achieve a more accurate result by using little-used EMG between scapula and elbow muscles in the literature besides ongoing classical measurements and evaluations.
To assess the residual risk of OrthoVisc-T (OVT) for the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylosis (Tennis Elbow). This trial will provide clinical data on a subject population not previously researched which have failed prior treatments for lateral epicondylosis.
This study evaluates the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use during needling of the extensor carpalis radialis brevis tendon, after failure of proper reeducation including focal extra-corporal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Half of the patients with receive PRP and needling, and half of the patients will receive needling alone. During the reeducation, the clinical evaluation will be monitored and reported as in a case series.
Tennis elbow is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting the arm and is thought to be mainly due to overuse of the muscles that extend the wrist. The pain arises from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, where the tendons of the wrist extensor muscles attach. There are many treatment options available for tennis elbow including oral medication, physiotherapy and injection therapy. Surgical options are reserved for those who fail to respond to more conservative treatments. Physiotherapy is a widely used, non-invasive treatment option for the management of tennis elbow. Research has shown that in the longer term, physiotherapy is superior to corticosteroid injection in the treatment of tennis elbow and a meta-analysis of published research concluded that Platelet Rich Plasma injection and Hyaluronic Acid injection are superior to corticosteroid for long term pain relief in tennis elbow. At present there is not enough evidence to indicate what the 'Gold Standard' treatment for tennis elbow is, and more research is therefore needed to help guide decision-making. The aim of this study is therefore to examine the effects of injection therapy in addition to physiotherapy treatment, in comparison to physiotherapy and a control injection on pain and function in patients with tennis elbow. All participants in this study will undergo a structured, specifically designed, class-based physiotherapy intervention, in addition to being randomly allocated to receive one of the following three types of injection: (a) a control injection whereby a needle is inserted into the skin but no therapeutic substance is injection, (b) a single therapeutic injection of platelet-rich plasm or (c) a single therapeutic injection of hyaluronic acid. Baseline data will be collected at the time of recruitment and participants will be followed up at 3 months and 12 months post treatment. Outcomes will be assessed using various patient-reported outcome measures in addition to clinical examination. The primary outcome for this study is the improvement in the quick DASH score at 12 months post-treatment compared to baseline.
